For the umpteenth time ;D ;D one of my all-time favourite works:

Miloslav Kabelac's Passacaglia "The Mystery of Time" :)

Powerful, imposing, granitic, terrifying ;D

His recording is admittedly showing its age but my goodness, how Karel Ancerl nailed this piece with his Czech Philharmonic Orchestra back in 1960. Magnificent blaring brass, hammered timpani, the pieces works its way to such an overwhelming climax and then slowly winds back down, its intensity spent, towards the same mysterious, other-worldly regions as it had began.
